Apex Hydrogen Generators

Our laboratory Hydrogen generators use the newest membrane technology for the electrolytic production of pure H₂ gas. This technology was preferred over alternative hydrogen-generating techniques because it is clean, requires less maintenance and there is no need to store chemicals to maintain operation. Hydrogen is produced by electrolysis of water through a polymer membrane. Only pure water, either distilled or deionised, is required to provide trouble-free long term operation.

​Each system includes an integrated dryer to remove any moisture and has a range of safety features built-in. Such features include automatic leak detection, automatic shut down when the flow rate drops or when the internal pressure gets too high.

​The Apex Laboratory Hydrogen generator range is available in many sizes with output ranging from 0.15 litres per minute up to 3 litres per minute. Contact us to request more information and we will be happy to advise which of our range best suits your requirements

An on-site generator provides several benefits over bottled gas:

• Save money: You never have to pay for bottled gas again.
• Save space: A generator requires less space than storing gas cylinders.
• Improve workplace safety: Employees don’t have to move heavy gas cylinders, nor do you have to store high-pressure tanks.
• Reduce delays: You don’t have to wait for deliveries of bottled gas.

Features and Benefits:

• Standard flow rates of up to 0.5 litres/min ( 3 L/min in high capacity models)
• Hydrogen Purity of >99.999%
• Output pressure range of 0.2 Bar (3 psi) to 10 Bar (145 psi)
• Automatic safety alarms
• Stand-by mode
• Easy installation
• Simple maintenance

Applications:

• gas chromatography (GC)
• ​​as fuel or carrier gas
• ​​ICP-MS as a collision gas
• ​​in the chemical industry, to synthesise ammonia, cyclohexane and methanol
• ​​and in the food industry for hydrogenation of oils to form fats.
